Thai Chicken Soup

.

I've been to Bangkok and loved all the food there, but was amazed to find the same local flavours when I ate at Thaila Thai in Melbourne.

Melbourne...such a distant memory now! 

Last night I re created a Thai dish that I ate at Thaila Thai years ago, a flavour that left a lasting memory on my tongue.

I first cooked this soup for housemates two years ago, and one of them wanted this recipe, so here it is with a starter of tracks that remind me of Melbourne.

Saw Beth Ditto perform this live, and would do anything to see her sing it again, even add 5 more chilli's to this recipe.
